So apparently being brainwashed into killing your friends, being shot by your lover, being resurrected by your mortal enemy only to find that your ex’s brother murdered your father and is now leading your team, and then watching several of your friends murdered in front of you by someone you thought was your friend AND STILL having the moral compass to put aside your very real anger and defend those people….means you’re not strong inside?

Between this and the “Danny is a rock” thing, I’m starting to think Sal might not be the best judge of character.

I feel that Sal is seeing beyond that. The fury with which he’s bashing Beef (which admittedly, is probably the only thing giving him an edge) is a manifestation of his inner wrath, which has just reached a new high after the recent revelations.

He’s still a good soldier boy, because he simply has /no other mode/ but Beef here is giving him a perfect outlet for all that rage, an enemy and one that is not exploding into a fine red mist at the first attack.

God, Sal, I know you hate yourself, but projecting that onto the people who even REMIND you of yourself—to the point you stop feeling empathy for them or any desire to connect and start being repulsed instead—is taking things to a whole new level.
